[yt-dev] Kill logging in the notebook?

[Sam Skillman]

I think I'm -0 on it since sometimes all you get is whatever was in the log
to help debug an issue since its tough (impossible?) to get a pdb-like
session going in a notebook.  Also, the info lines are actually there for a
reason.  If loglevel isn't 20 by default, maybe we should just change that?
